New Amsterdam (2018)
Refreshing and heartwarming
Finally a medical drama without the usual drama. It's not about the endless romance between the doctors and nurses; it's not focused on the sexual perks and pains of the staff's sexual life, it is really focused about the medical aspect of the hospital. The characters are very refreshing and particularly Ryan Eggold is so endearing in his first remarkable role, I've actually never paid much attention to him before. I just hope it doesn't get cancelled prematurely, like it seems to be happening to all good shows lately that are not about superheroes.
And Then There Were None (2015)
Eery and captivating
Excellent adaptation, the atmosphere is very dark and frightening at times, I felt like one of the people stranded in the menacing house. Charles Dance and Aidan Turner were particularly impressive, they gave an excellent performance. I absolutely loved it it even made me read the novel once more.
The Last Post (2017)
From another point of view
Dramatically speaking, it's very good. I liked the acting a lot and the buildup. Normally I would give it a rating of 10, except for the portrayal of the people outside the post. They are portrayed as terrorists hated and feared by the locals, locals who would do anything to help the British occupying force. Really not very logical for any country during any period of history
The Promise (2016)
I absolutely loved it, it made me cry uncontrollably though.
Great movie and great cast. The acting, the writing, the setting, all absolutely fantastic. Oscar Isaac is amazing to the extent that he actually over shadowed the rest, every time he is on screen, he shines. And it is about time the suffering of the Armenians is acknowledged and brought to life to honour their memories and their legacy.
Death in Paradise (2011)
Brilliant, but ...
I would have given this a 10 out of 10 if Ben Miller was still the lead, he was absolutely brilliant as DI Poole; he was natural and funny, smart in his own way, and, most of all, the culture clash was very entertaining. However, once Ben Miller was out, followed by Sara Martins, the show lost its unique appeal. I'm still watching because of the gorgeous setting and the brilliant writing, however, Kris Marshall as DI Goodman is just boring, and why did they resort to that cliché of a clumsy man trying to find a woman? It is the worst aspect of the show. I understand that Ben Miller wanted out to spend more time with his family, but they should have found a better replacement for him.
